The market in front of the Anping Palace is noisy, and people come and go, which can be regarded as the norm in Anping Province.

An Le sat on the railing on the second floor of the restaurant and drank a small jar of wine, listening to the sound of talking and shouting below, lingering in his ears, which was a very comfortable sound.

Yahuan Mung Bean on the side stared at An Le anxiously, and wanted to reach out to pull her from time to time: "Gong, Gongzi, it's too dangerous here, the slave is so worried that Gongzi will drink too much and fall down, otherwise come down first, okay?" ”

An Le glanced back at her lightly, this girl was quite loyal, her forehead was full of sweat, and she didn't look like she was anxious.

"Go to Xiao Er and give me some sobering soup and bring it over, and my son will go back after drinking."

Hearing that An Le finally relented, Mung Bean happily ran downstairs to find Xiao Er to ask for sobering soup.

An Le looked at the crowd coming and going in the restaurant again, why did he feel a little strange, there seemed to be more people in An Pingguo recently? Not only on this street, but also in restaurants, there are people everywhere, and something is wrong.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove across the bazaar, "Drive." ”

Suddenly, the wine fell to the ground and shattered, An Le's eyes were closed, his hands spread out and poured out, only to hear the noisy voice accompanied by the distant shouts of mung beans: "Childe! ”

After a while, An Le still didn't notice any pain, she only felt very comfortable being held, she slowly opened her eyes and looked over, a man with some messy hair was holding her.

Mung Bean had already run out of the restaurant and rushed to them: "Gong ......"

She didn't know whether to call the woman in front of her a young lady or a child, because An Le's bundled hair had fallen out, and the hair ornament had fallen to the ground, and An Le's identity as a woman had been exposed.

Mung Bean's call made the man sober up instantly, and immediately put An Le down and bowed his head and clenched his fists to apologize: "Aunt, girl, I don't mean to offend, I really have no choice." ”

An Le shook his shirt, and felt a little annoyed in his heart, how could I, why did I really fall from the upstairs in a trance.

Some of the people passing by stopped to watch the show, and some turned their heads and continued to walk their own ways, "This woman is so good-looking, why can't she think about it so much?" "Why can't I think about it, the person fell from the upstairs unintentionally, and it is estimated that he was unlucky and accidentally fell." "I think this boy is handsome, I'm afraid it's another good story, this kind of drama, I've seen it many times in Mr. Hao's playbook, the vulgar hero saves the beauty."

Mung Bean hurriedly picked up the hair ornament on the ground and re-tied An Le's hair and makeup, the man turned around and dismissed the people who were watching the show, and then turned around to An Le was staring at himself and letting Mung Bean tie her hair.

"I, girl, don't stand on the railing upstairs next time, in case you accidentally fall down, wouldn't it be a good ......?"

The man seemed to be looking for words, trying to express the consequences of this.

"Xiang Xiaoyu died?"

An Le said lightly for him.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the death of the incense." The man was a little excited, that's what it meant.

An Le simply pursed his lips and stopped talking, the air fell silent for a while, the man didn't know what to say, An Le waited for the mung bean to tie his hair and didn't care that the man turned around and left.

The man suddenly reached out and grabbed An Le's sleeve: "Girl, I..."

An Le turned back to him and looked at him coldly, "Thank you, Childe." ”

The man quickly let go of his hand and said, "The girl is polite." Seeing him standing a little stupidly in place at a loss, Mung Bean couldn't help but snicker: "Male, Miss, I think he's so stupid." ”

Seeing An Le walk straight to the direction of the palace regardless of her, Mung Bean had no choice but to close his mouth and follow behind.

"Princess Ben accidentally fell." An Le looked at the road ahead and said, This girl is a great grandmother's person, but you have to be careful that she chews the root of her tongue.

Mung Bean hurriedly chased Anle's pace with small steps: "The princess must be very careful, this will be the princess's day of harmony in a few days, and there must be no accidents." ”

Seeing An Le and her maidservant getting farther and farther apart, the man who rescued her stood in place for a long time, until his subordinates rushed over with something: "Second prince, what happened?" ”

The man straightened his clothes, "It's okay, let's go back to the post station quickly, I'm afraid it's too late for the envoys to be in a hurry." ”

On the second floor of the blowing flower building opposite, a man hugged a few women left and right, but he saw the scene just now, turned his head and hooked a woman's chin with his hand and said: "This Anping country is really a lot of beauties, it's worth the trip." ”

A woman put the peeled grapes into his mouth: "As long as Sheng Gongzi likes it, which beauty doesn't want to press it down." ”

As soon as An Le returned to the palace to change his clothes, he was called to Cining Hall by the Queen Mother. An Le stood outside the hall and shook her head vigorously, she was a little worried that she would not be able to help but take advantage of the wine to speak disrespectfully to her great-grandmother, after all, she was dissatisfied in her heart, and she was weak-hearted.

Mung Bean couldn't help but smile when she looked at her appearance: "Princess, the slave thinks you are too afraid of the Queen Mother." ”

The corners of An Le's mouth twitched, and he shook his hand and was about to walk in.

The Queen Mother was dressed in a dignified manner, sitting on top of her in a gorgeous dress, and her face was full of solemnity.

An Le walked in a little dazed, and saw the Queen Mother sitting on it without saying a word, staring at herself as if she was guarding a prisoner.

An Le smiled helplessly, and then knelt down with mung beans to say goodbye: "Grandmother is well." "The Queen Mother is auspicious."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Today, the second prince of Lan Shengguo has come to my Anping Kingdom with the envoys, you have to dress up well, go to the meeting before the banquet in the evening, and in a few days it will be your peace ceremony, you will stay in the palace honestly for a few days, and you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate." ”

An Le listened to it in his heart, but his face was a little uncomfortable, so he lowered his head indifferently and said, "Follow the instructions of the great grandmother." ”

After not hearing the voice of the queen mother for a long time, An Le raised her head, the great grandmother had long since left without knowing when she was leaving, she shook her hand and got up with the support of mung beans, and then staggered out of the Cining Hall to return to the dormitory.

Mung Bean watched An Le staggering and staggered, and wanted to reach out to help her walk several times, but was glared back by An Le with a look.

When passing by Bibo Pavilion, An Le drove away the maidservants, sitting alone under the bench, blowing the cool breeze and watching the river, occasionally a fish jumped out of the water and fell into the river because of the excitement, An Le drank the wine has gradually eroded her brain, is torturing her nerves, she only feels a headache.

Suddenly, a cloak was placed on her body, and An Le looked back to see that An Ping was sitting next to her with his hands down.

"Brother."

An Le called out weakly.

An Ping twisted An Le's head to his shoulder, held her arm and gently patted her on the back: "My Jia Le'er went out of the palace to drink again today?" Why don't you call your brother to accompany you? ”

An Le closed his eyes and said: "My brother has too many things to do, and Le'er has grown up, so I have to share a little for my brother, since I can't share it, then don't make a mess." ”

"No matter how busy my brother is, Le'er's business will always come first." An Ping said softly.

The corners of An Le's mouth slowly began to rise, and her brother's mouth would definitely turn into a beautiful sister-in-law in the future, and then she fell asleep.

"My silly sister, my brother is busy with the enthronement ceremony these days, and I can't go out of the palace with you to drink in our old place, I'm really ashamed."

The second prince of Lan Shengguo and several envoys who came to make peace passed by here, and happened to see two people in the pavilion not far away, and two maids in front of them were eating melon seeds and gossiping there.

"This Princess Anle is also pitiful, she was not liked by the Queen Mother when she was young, as the only princess of Anping Kingdom, she is now far away from her homeland as a messenger of peace with her relatives, it is really pitiful."

"But it's not, the princess originally had a queen mother who loved her very much, but since the queen has been ignoring the government every day, chanting scriptures and worshipping the Buddha day and night, and now after the princess and relatives, he will arrange for His Royal Highness the Prince to succeed to the throne, so that he can go to the Five Elements Mountain to become a monk."

"Is this true? How could this be? I've always heard that the emperor worships Buddha day and night for the queen and eats vegetarian, but I didn't expect the emperor to become a monk, isn't this a bit ridiculous? ”

"Yes, it's ridiculous, in my opinion, it's all the blame for the queen mother, and she forced the princess to agree, it is said that His Royal Highness the prince almost fought with her, but I don't know what the emperor said later, and His Royal Highness the prince agreed to make peace."

"I've long seen that the old witch of the Queen Mother is not pleasing to the eye, I really hope that she will die tonight, fierce and vicious, where is there half a kind state?"

The second prince, who has been standing behind him, feels that it is not good to listen to it all the time, which is against etiquette.

So he coughed, and the two maids quickly turned around with black faces, seeing that it was a group of people they didn't know and hurriedly ran away with a casual salute, if they were caught, it would be a big crime to kill their heads.

One of the envoys respectfully saluted to the second prince and said: "Second prince, I have long heard that this Anping country is going to change hands, and sure enough, fortunately, the princess who is about to marry is the favorite sister of the prince of Anping. ”

The second prince stopped saying no more and continued to walk forward, and happened to meet Prince Anping, who picked up An Le and was about to go back to the palace halfway through.

An Ping had already met the second prince and envoy of Lan Shengguo, and he knew each other, so he had to bow briefly: "This, Le'er's body has been infected with wind and cold recently, and she is not very tired of studying the etiquette of your country recently, and she fell asleep outside, and His Royal Highness immediately took her back to the dormitory." ”

The second prince didn't plan to go to see the princess, but when he heard the prince say this, he turned his head and took a look, this, isn't this the lost woman who was rescued in the restaurant outside today? Where is it like getting a wind chill? His cheeks were flushed, obviously an episode of alcohol, and he smelled a burst of wine when he caught her today.

Seeing that his prince was distracted, the envoy hurriedly saluted and said: "Yes, yes, the etiquette of my Lan Shengguo is complicated, but the princess doesn't have to work so hard, the body is important and everything else is a trivial matter, so it is easy to discuss." ”

An Ping exchanged a few words with them and then turned around and left with An Le in his arms, the second prince looked at the back of him leaving and couldn't help but say: "It's really a brother and sister relationship, and the action is so intimate, the eldest brother married her, but..."

Isn't it, the second prince also wants to marry this princess? The ministers looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

After the second prince returned to his residence, he withdrew everyone, leaving only his intimate subordinate Luoxi.

"Luoxi, you say, why isn't this prince marrying this kind princess?"

Lan Shengguo's etiquette has always been like this, and the man who is close to him must not be able to come to greet him in person, which is unlucky, so he can only let his second brother come to replace him.

"Second prince, although this princess is very good-looking, but the force behind this is a big country, and when I saw that prince today, I really favored the princess, thinking about it, we can use some means to destroy this marriage."

The second prince glanced up at him, "Do you think this prince wants to destroy the good things of the eldest brother?" ”

Luo Xi didn't dare to answer again, didn't she?

"This prince is just unwilling, Sheng Xuanhao has been the best in everything since he was born."

His teeth creaked.

The emperor did not appear at the banquet that night, only the queen mother, the crown prince and the princess appeared on the scene.

An Le had already drunk the sobering soup, and when An Ping left, he told her not to go to the reception banquet at night, and he would explain to his great-grandmother.

An Le rubbed her forehead, and still asked Mung Bean to groom her: "Princess, why don't you go?" His Royal Highness had already rushed over, and he had told the slave to take good care of the princess. ”

An Le closed his eyes and said, "If this princess doesn't go, I'm afraid that my grandmother will embarrass my brother." ”

The feast was unremarkable and unpleasant, but some of the sheng flutes were played.

However, An Le found that the second prince of Lan Shengguo was actually the man who rescued him outside the palace today, and he was worried that he would not say anything, but when he saw him saluting him stupidly and turned around and sat down, An Le was relieved, "This princess has changed her dress, but she doesn't look like the bad appearance of the man outside the palace, he looks so stupid, it's strange to be able to recognize it." ”

This banquet slowly faded in the middle of the night, and An Le turned around and was about to go back to the palace to rest, but the emperor's personal eunuch hurried over and called her away.

"The emperor has something to tell the princess, and I hope the princess will go with our family alone."
